NOAA tests new imagery approach for Hurricane Arthur

US: The National Geodetic Survey (NGS) of National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has employed new aerial photography techniques in the wake of Hurricane Arthur. NGS planned survey flights to document damage, erosion, and potential impacts to navigation in the aftermath of the tropical cyclone.

In response to the cyclone, oblique imagery of the affected areas was collected using new photographic techniques that NGS experts expect will lead to more comprehensive post-storm surveys in the future.
